Résumé

On November 9 and 10, 2023, the Organización Nacional de Trasplantes (ONT), under the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, convened in Santander a Global Summit entitled "Towards Global Convergence in Transplantation: Sufficiency, Transparency and Oversight." This article summarizes two distinct but related challenges elaborated at the Santander Summit by Working Group 2 that must be overcome if we are to develop and expand deceased donation worldwide and achieve the goal of self-sufficiency in organ donation and transplantation. Challenge 1: the need for a unified concept of death based on the permanent cessation of brain function. Working group 2 proposed that challenge 1 requires the global community to work toward a uniform, worldwide definition of human death, conceptually unifying circulatory and neurological criteria of death around the cessation of brain function and accepting that permanent cessation of brain function is a valid criterion to determine death. Challenge 2: reducing disparities in deceased donation and increasing organ utilization through donation after the circulatory determination of death (DCDD). Working group 2 proposed that challenge 2 requires the global community to work toward increasing organ utilization through DCDD, expanding DCDD through in situ normothermic regional perfusion, and expanding DCDD through ex situ machine organ perfusion technology. Recommendations for implementation are described.
